Sell Your Snapshots

An app called Foap will pay for photos you snapped with your mobile phone (and help reporters out there find photos in a flash when a deadline is looming).

If you have some images you want to share, submit them to Foap. If Foap approves them, they will be added to the online marketplace, and if a company sees a photo they like, they’ll pay you to use it.

Photos with frames and filters aren’t allowed, unless the filter sharpens the photo. Blurry pics and inappropriate images aren’t accepted, and images must be 1000px in height or length.

If you want to try for some extra cash with your iPhone’s photo collection, download Foap from the App store for free.

House Calls

A new service called HealthTap wants to put medical professionals in touch with the masses, answering health questions in real time via mobile or desktop app. It costs nothing to send an anonymous message to the 12,000 doctors within the HealthTap Medical Expert Network, and if you have a specific medical professional you want to talk to, it will cost $9.99 to send a question privately, and $4.99 for each additional message if you have follow-up questions. That may sound expensive, but if you consider what a co-pay and a doctor’s visit would cost you just to ask a question in person, it’s pretty reasonable. Signing up is easy at HealthTap.com.
